in spring

Chapter 282 Admonition

The whole yard was silent.

Chunying came to her senses first, and ran to the east wing, shouting as she ran, "Why are you crying? Hurry up and call the doctor! Go back to the old lady and the lady!" Chunying and Ma Nao's mothers-in-law woke up and immediately turned around to report back. Ma Nao called a few more mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to follow Chunying to help.

As soon as Chunying entered the east wing room, she saw a man hanging from the north beam. Looking at the clothes, she seemed to be the Cui Manru whom she had just seen on the road.The front of her clothes was a lot dirty, hanging dangling from the cloth belt under the beam, she was still struggling slightly, her hands were tightly pulling the cloth belt around her throat, her two eyeballs were bulging, and she was sticking out her bright red tongue , The whole face turned blue and purple.Under the suspended feet is a crooked round stool.

Without saying a word, Chunying ran forward and hugged her leg and lifted it up, and several women came up to help, and hurriedly untied the cloth belt, carried her down, and put her on the bed, but Cui Manru's His face was still purple.

Chunying used to learn first aid knowledge when she was studying at school, but after so many years, she couldn't remember clearly, so she only moved Cui Manru's pillow away from her memory, let her lie flat, and held her head up to let her lie down. She opened her mouth and loosened her belt and collar to let her breathe easier.Seeing that she seemed to be out of breath, Chunying patted her forehead, trying to recall the content of the first aid class before, how to give first aid to a hanged person?In a flash of inspiration, she sat down at the foot of the bed, pushed her upper abdomen upwards with her hands, and after several pushes, she finally heard a rapid inhalation, and a woman called out, "Okay, okay, let her go I'm angry!" Cui Manru's complexion finally improved slowly.

The person was finally rescued. Chunying wiped off her sweat and saw a lot of people crowded in the room, so she said: "Mother and sisters-in-law don't all crowd in the room, first report to the old lady, the second old lady, and the doctor. Someone has to go to urge them. If there is anyone in the mansion who knows the medical principles, please invite them to have a look first. Besides, the second young master and the second young mistress are still waiting for a letter. Who should tell me? It's hot today, and the room is small, everyone is gathered here, and it must be boring, so I invite all mothers and sisters-in-law to take their errands to go."

So some of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who came with them went to urge the doctor, some went to report the follow-up development to the old lady, and some went to tell the second young master and his wife that there were only two women left to help Chunying, who poured tea, poured tea, The fans beat the fans, and one of them stretched out his hand to pinch Cui Manru's people.

Cui Manru's gaze was dull at first, but she has recovered obviously, but she still doesn't respond at all.Chunying took a closer look, lighted a candle and came over, seeing her eyeballs moving, obviously reacting, so she said angrily: "If you wake up, just squeak. It's not a big deal, you're still looking for life and death!" "

Cui Man stared at Chunying with rolling eyes, her eye circles gradually turned red, a whimper sounded from the depths of her throat, and then she burst into tears.I don't know if her neck was injured, but her voice was a little hoarse, and she was crying and coughing non-stop, her tears, nose, and saliva were all mixed together, making her choking worse, and she reached out to grab Chunying's skirt again.

Chunying hurriedly dodged, she took a moment, was stunned, then grabbed the bed on her body, and cried louder.The two women looked at each other, curled their lips, and muttered something in a low voice.

Chunying was annoyed by Cui Manru's crying, she turned to look at the beam where she hanged herself, then picked up the cloth belt and found it was a sweat towel made of silk.The maids in the house like to tie this kind of sweat towel around their waists in summer, which not only has the function of a hand towel, but also is light and cool.It's just that this kind of fabric is not very strong, and it is not resistant to pulling. As long as a small opening is made and a force is applied, it can be torn in two halves.Chunying had seen this kind of fabric at shopkeeper Shi back then, and knew that rolling it into strips would increase its strength. At this moment, seeing that there was a tear on the edge of the sweat towel, it just happened to be rolled into strips, and a tear appeared involuntarily. idea.

She returned to the bed with the sweat towel, and asked coldly: "Miss Cui, you hang yourself with this sweat towel, you don't mean to put on a show, right? Who are you planning?" Maybe this time The target is no longer a small character like a girl or a concubine, is it the Second Young Mistress?

Cui Manru stopped crying, and suddenly looked up at her, facing the tear in the sweat scarf, her eyes flickered, and then turned to look at the women next to her, seeing the strange expression on the latter's face, her expression was even more flustered Now, looking back at Chunying again, she cried in a hoarse voice: "I almost lost my life! Your words are too hurtful! Is it possible that I will take my own life to hurt others?! Even if I really What is there to be happy about killing someone and losing your own life?!"

Chunying smiled: "So you really want to die? It can be seen that you usually keep saying how filial you are, and that you do everything for your mother's happiness, and everything is forced... You are lying You are dead, your mother is a widow, what hope is there? You are trying to force your mother to death!"

Cui Manru was shocked, and cried loudly: "I never thought about it like this! I really have no choice but to... I have no way out now! The second young master loses face every day, and the second young lady beats and scolds me when she sees me. Even the little girl in the house didn't take me seriously, so I went to ask my wife, but the wife just cared about crying and sent me back casually. As soon as I entered the door, I was thrown all over my body. When I saw the second young master and the second young mistress We quarreled, but after a few words of persuasion, the second young master got annoyed and wanted to sell me to a kiln. If I really end up in that kind of place, I might as well die clean!" After crying a few times, she called Mother again: " The life of my daughter is bitter, I can no longer honor my mother, my mother should just die as her daughter!"

If she saw other people encounter this kind of thing, Chunying might feel sympathy, but for Manru, perhaps because she had been cheated too many times, she still couldn't sympathize, even if it was true, she would treat her as the other person. Pretending to be fake, he threw away the sweat towel and said angrily, "Why are you crying? The second young master just said that casually. Is it possible that he can really sell you to that kind of place? You are a family member. If you want to buy or sell, your wife has to nod. You Isn’t it my wife’s favorite general? There’s nothing to worry about?!” Just seeing that Manru can quickly think of a way to hang herself, it’s clear that she’s not really panicked.Besides, with Manru's knowledge of the secret, Chunying did not believe that Master Hou and his wife would sell her alive.

Chunying thought for a while, and felt that whether Manru really wanted to hang herself or was playing tricks to plot against others, it had nothing to do with her, so why bother to get involved?Anyway, if she saved a life, she was already worthy of her own conscience, so she immediately said to the two women: "Mothers are all well-informed, I don't know if Miss Cui's current situation matters? I have something to do." One of the women smiled knowingly: "Girl, go, we are here, and when the doctor comes to see you later, we will go back to the old lady and wife."

Chunying thanked her, and went out. Manru saw that she was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Chunying, good girl, please go slowly!" Chunying ignored her, walked out of the veranda, and headed towards the main room.

There were a few girls and women crowded in the courtyard, all of whom were watching the fun, whispering to each other in private, and discussing a lot. Among them were a few young women who were dressed more gorgeously, their faces were outlined with makeup and powder, and their faces were either gloating or schadenfreude. Indifference, or sarcasm.Chunying guessed that they were probably the second young master's concubines or concubines, and sighed inwardly, when she suddenly saw a flash of green clothes at the corner of the corridor, and a somewhat familiar face quickly disappeared behind them, she couldn't help but pause, and then Looking carefully, there was no one there.She stood there for a while, then let out a cold snort, and walked into the main room.

Ma Nao sat on the chair directly next to her, hugging the ruler, with a bit of annoyance on her face.Li Chang was sitting on top of her, with bruises around her eyes, a bloodstain on her chin, disheveled hair, ink and tea stains on the hem of her robe, she was quite embarrassed.

Seeing Chunying coming in, Ma Nao hurriedly got up and asked, "How is it? Have you been rescued?" Chunying nodded, "Fortunately, she was only hanged up not long ago, and she was already out of breath and able to speak, but her throat hurt. Has the doctor outside come yet?"

"When something like this happens, you have to ask the old lady and the wife to speak. Otherwise, if you find the doctor who doesn't know the background, you don't know how it will spread!" Manao turned to look at Li Chang, "The second young master is too reckless. Now, what is the reason for forcing people to do this?! If you really want to kill someone, you can't please!"

Li Chang said with a straight face: "Who forced her? It's clear that she doesn't understand the rules! She doesn't obey women's morals all day long, trying to hook up with other men! If I don't know, she went to Huanhuaxuan for three days the other day. Come back! If you don’t deal with such a flirtatious woman, where will I put my face?!”

Liang's sarcasm came from inside: "It's because you dote on that little hoof so ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, that you dare to seek death and humiliate yourself. According to me, sell it immediately and clean it up!" Li Chang cursed: "Shut up! "

Manao blushed slightly, she was still a girl who hadn't left the cabinet, some words were really embarrassing to hear, let alone say.Chunying didn't have so many scruples, and felt that the second young master and his wife spoke too much, so she said: "Second young master is confused, I just heard what was sold in the kiln, and I thought it was someone else's nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be the second young master himself. What I said, I'm afraid you are out of breath? Although Miss Cui was born as a girl, after all, she is a member of your house, and she was sold to that kind of place so that people would know. Is there a place for your face? The more Lianhou Mansion I lost all face!"

Li Chang frowned: "Are you the girl of my great-uncle? Why do I think you look familiar?"

"My servant used to work in this mansion when I was young." Chunying knew that the other party would not remember a little girl like her, so she briefly mentioned her background, "Today was originally because our old lady came to visit the old lady in the mansion. On the way When the second young lady had a quarrel with the eldest lady, the old lady was very angry when she found out, and she was not very cheerful. Our old lady stayed to appease her, so she ordered me and Sister Ma Nao to persuade the second young master and the second young lady. " Then turned to Agate: "Did sister say it?"

Manao said sullenly: "I said it, but the second young lady refused to come out and listen!" Chunying followed her gaze, and saw a row of girls standing in the room, surrounded tightly, vaguely He saw behind them a head full of jewels, its back was facing her.She turned her head to look at Li Chang again, he was still breathing in and touching the wound on his face, the anger between his brows was still there, and he said bitterly: "She is so proud that she doesn't even care about etiquette! I must tell my father-in-law !"

"Go if you dare to say it!" Mrs. Liang could hear clearly in the room, and sneered, "Don't say I underestimated you, if you want to be an official, just be more polite to me! Do you really think you are someone? I Bah! A top-ranked fellow Jinshi, who are you bluffing? You claim to be a wit?! There are too many wits in this world! I have such a family background, such a face, you, a little bastard, can marry me , It’s simply that the ancestors accumulated virtues and burned high incense in the previous life! When you first got married, you talked nicely, but within three to five months, you only took one house in the east and one house in the west, and now there is almost no room in the yard! You Ask yourself, can you forgive me!" After speaking, I couldn't help but feel sad, and I was already crying.

Li Chang was unwilling to accept her reprimand: "Don't talk about your background and beauty! Even if you are a fairy, who keeps a straight face and puts on airs every day, who can bear it? You are the grand master's daughter, and I am also the prince of the Marquis. My son, I still think your family is outrageous and can't be worthy of me! But there are some basic families in the capital, which children don't have three wives and four concubines? Don't you have one?! It's clear that you are not virtuous and jealous all day long , It’s not easy to take care of my daily life, so I’m ashamed to blame me?!”

"Of course I'm to blame! Since you despise me, why did you come to provoke me?! My good grand master's daughter, who could have risen to the top, ended up being ruined by you, a disciple, for the rest of my life!" Liang was angry and wronged, Immediately called the girl, "Pack up your things, let's go home! Let my father decide for me! I will definitely trample your Li family into the mud, so that I can vent my hatred!"

There was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets from inside, making Li Chang tremble all over with anger: "Okay... sure enough... all you want to do is to enter the palace. Since you want to serve the emperor with all your heart, go! I will write a letter of divorce right away!" "

"If you want to write, write quickly, don't be so cheeky to beg me again! I can't wait for it!" Another cup was smashed in the middle.

Seeing that they were talking more and more outrageous, Chunying glanced at Manao, who stepped forward to persuade Li Chang in embarrassment: "Second young master, don't make trouble, the old lady knows it, the more angry you are!" I can't go down anymore!" Li Chang turned around and fell on the reclining chair, turned his back, and ignored it, so anxious that Manao stomped his feet.

Chunying was angry and funny when she saw it, and said through her teeth: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, you all calm down!"
